Kasparov is the only man alive that can say “Karpov’s psychological weakness” and get away with it. The rest of us would get pulverized by Karpov’s looking at us across the board.

huge kudos to Kasparov. 2 of his 4 most memorable games resulted in losses. takes a lot to share that when he could easily have picked 4 winning games

[jjs]

0:34 Kasparov is not Russian, here is proof

[aakaashbulani]

Wow one of the biggest chess player of the era is highlighting up his I thought that he'll show his best and only the good Well great act by the great chess

[FlaminalLow]

Kasparov has no poker face. He showed every motion at the board. Love it!

I met Garry Kasparov in 2007 in New York at a Borders book store. He was promoting his new book, "How Life Imitates Chess". He autographed my book, and he let me shake his hand while my friend took a photo. I still have that signed book, with the photo inside. Garry Kasparov is a very nice kind polite friendly man, and I'm honored to have gotten the chance to briefly meet him.

Whenever I see 3d boards when showing positions I immediately believe it was produced by a non- chess player. It's so hard to see what's going on. Just me?

[bardhanjoy]

This man mentioned 2 of his losses in the 4 of his most memorable games. It says a lot of his mental character and a kind of chess player he is.
Thank you very much for the wonderful video.

I love listening to Kasparov talk about chess. There’s a lot of depth to what he’s saying but he makes it sound simple and down to earth

[emmanuellmiqueletti]

I like how kasparov introduces himself. "I'm gary Kasparov." NO further explanation is required hahaah

[BridgPeace]

"You have to make tough decisions, and you have to resist pressure." How that fits everything! I love these New Yorker videos. Thank you.

[AdiChimp]

Even video editor blundered the Rook!!

[SrJesus-gwpo]

I can't even remember what I ate for lunch two days ago

[joemacinnis]

I can't imagine the stress of these games! It takes so much out of you

[Domebuddy]

I like that he lists a blunder has his most memorable, very humble.

[seth]

I would have enjoyed this video much more if a 2d chess board was used rather than a 3d chess board. Would have been much easier to follow his explanations.

[jamescpotter]

Bravo Kasparov! Your modesty for displaying some Grandmaster blunders only accentuates your character. If there was one grandmaster I would hope to ever meet and have a chat it would be Gary Kasparov!

[johntash]

Always a pleasure when Garry shares the magic.

Then I saw Karpov entering the stage, that was the crucial moment because I could look at his eyes, I could look at his body and he looked doomed. I could immediately understand that he didn't believe he could defend his position - Garry Kasparov... a cold blooded, calculating killer... (gives me chills) --- (No disrespect to Anatoly Karpov, he is also one of the best)
